Gettin' After It

I was off work today since I am working a fundraiser Sunday, so I decided to get the party started with a nice am run. I love morning runs. Why? Because I suck at evening runs, seriously I have no energy and whine non-stop when I run after work. Flaherty can so vouch for me on that.

I got up at 8:30am and it was dark and windy and rainy.

Awesome.

At first I was a little pissy and then it hit me... at least you won't be hot. So, I got my gear on and headed out. It wasn't a great run (pace in the 10's) since I am not all that in shape right now, but I was glad I went. I was also glad it was over when I had 22 mph winds gusting in my face the whole way home.

5 miles. Hollahh
I am packing my crap for Dam to Dam 20k on Saturday. I should be crazy excited since this is my favorite race ever, but of course I'm nervous since I'm under trained. Whatever happens... run...walk...crawl...finish
baby.

Here's my Thursday weigh-in. I'm not hauling a scale to Des Moines tomorrow night, so I'll update ya'll Saturday night.


A little bit of progress.

xo,
falon

  5. Have fun at Dam to Dam. I always wanted to do that one. Maybe next year:)

    Also? Cute toes. My feet are marathon monstrous, with no plans to fix it until June 25th!

  6. Good luck on your race! I have fallen behind on my running-not that I'm even close to being a marathon or half-marathon or even 10k runner yet. :)
